Report No. 21

Clause 69

General.-This section, which at first sight appears to be a repetition of section 67 of the English Act, is not actually so. Section 67 deals generally with the measure of indemnity, while section 68 deals particularly with that measure in the case of a total loss. While section 67 gives the maximum limit for all cases, section 68 has the effect of enabling the assured to recover that from the insurer in the case of a total loss.
